Getting organized!

Sorry this is not about giving you tips on getting organized. it is about my mess and getting it together.

I am not a hoarder, hoarders keep their stuff, I am willing to sell anything I own, everything has a price tag.


I rented a storage unit and am in the process of listing, sealing and taking to storage. Hanging clothing stays here but I have big plastic bins in storage, one is designated 'kids' and all the kids clothing is folded, sealed in plastic and put in that bin. I have a bin for tees and shorts.  I have a bin for shoes, they are indivually  wrapped in  tissue, then wrapped together and put either in shoe boxes or poly envelopes if they are light in weight. Same with purses. 

As soon as I get the clothing done I will start on the gigantic pile of Xmas decorations and collectibles that I want to get listed by the end of Summer.  I will get back my couch, darn it! 

I no longer watch the hoarder shows cause I am not a hoarder!  I am getting organized!

Oh how I need to get more organized. There are parts of my life that are very very organized, like the fridge, pantry, cabinets and closets.... and then there's the stuff that I keep packing home to sell, LOL!

You speak for so many of us. The piles never seem to get any smaller; the listing seems endless. Great post!

I like the perspective, getting organized, much more preferable to hoarding. Nice job.
